Robinson adopts updated zoning and future land-use maps to consolidate years of ordinance changes

The Robinson City Council on Aug. 11 approved updated official zoning and future land-use maps that consolidate nearly 80 separate ordinance changes made since the previous formal map adoption. City planning staff presented the two items together and said the maps simply incorporate previously approved rezoning and land-use ordinance actions into a single, current official map.

Planning and Zoning Commission recommended both items (future land-use map 4–0; zoning map 5–0) at its July 17 meeting, and councilmembers voted to enact ordinance 2025-023 updating the comprehensive-plan future land-use map and ordinance 2025-024 adopting the updated zoning map. The council’s action does not change any land uses or zoning beyond actions the council and the planning commission previously approved in separate votes; it formalizes the accumulated amendments into a single map that staff said should be updated every few years.

City staff told the council the new maps will replace the map adopted with the 2014 comprehensive plan and the 2018 zoning ordinance, reflecting adopted ordinance changes since those earlier documents. The council closed a public hearing on both items after no one from the public spoke.

Councilmembers agreed the update was needed for administrative clarity and to ensure future land-use and zoning information is current in permitting and planning documents. The ordinances were adopted by voice vote; no individual roll-call tallies were recorded in the public minutes.
